Is there any way to turn on hyphenation in Viewer?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I use the Hyphenate This! Plugin.

See screenshots first one is before running Hyphenate This!, the second is after running Hyphenate This!.

This is a good workaround and I use it sometimes but this plugin modifies book files which I'm trying to avoid.

What I mean is the support in the viewer itself like in the old v3 viewer (there is an option under Misc Options). I also tried to add p {hyphens: auto} under styles but it didn't work (WebEngine limitation?). Looks like this should be yet anther feature request...

I'm going to assume that you are adding this in the user stylesheet in the Preferences/Styles for the viewer. Hyphens: auto may not be supported but have you tried the other hyphen options used by various renderers? Or adding !important to the end of the line?

Here's what one poster gave as his hyphenation options:

Code:

  adobe-hyphenate: auto !important;
  -webkit-hyphens: auto !important;
  -moz-hyphens: auto !important;
  -ms-hyphens: auto !important;
  -epub-hyphens: auto !important;
  hyphens: auto !important;

I have no idea what webengine requires to enable hyphenation, probably dictionaries of some kind. Someday I will get around to investigating that.

Yeah webengine doesn't support it because chrome doesn't support it (except on macOS) https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium...tail?id=652964

I could of course implement hyphenation dynamically using soft hyphens with the hyphenator JS library (thsi is how it was done in v3) but that is hacky and slow and causes issues with other things such as search.
